Total Time: 1 hour plus dry time if painting
Supplies:
- empty plastic bottles
- serrated knife
- scissors
- bowl
- oil or Vaseline
- hot glue gun with glue
- paint (optional)
Steps:
- Use your serrated knife to cut the necks off the bottles.
- Trim any jagged edges with your scissors.
- Grease a bowl with a bit of oil or Vaseline so the hot glue is easy to peel off later.
- Place several bottle caps on the bottom so they make a nice base, then hot glue them together at the edges.
- Now start hot gluing the rings around the edges, working your way up the sides.
- Simply lift the dish out of the greased bowl. You can leave it clear, which is quite pretty too.
- I painted mine and left it to dry for a couple hours.
- Use it as upcycled decor or fill it up!
